AN ODD REFLECTION
ON 'WHAT ARE THE ODDS'?
This weird friend of mine had this observation:
"Wow! Almost lost my wife, my kids, and everything, due to my gambling addiction. Fortunately, I won them back on the next hand."
Sigh. Is that guy sane? Think that's a bad bet.

WAR OF THE WORLDS MOVIE,
BAD COLD COLLIDE
Bad coincidence last night:
The 1953 classic movie, "War of the Worlds," was on TV, and the man of the house had come down with a terrible chest cold.
"I'll get the vaporizer," I said.
Our daughter cringed. On the TV screen, "horrible" aliens were vaporizing defenseless human beings! "I mean, the humidifier," I quickly corrected. It's true that you have to ATTACK a cold . . . but not quite like THAT!

ASKING AN 11-YEAR-OLD
TO JOIN THE AARP? AARP!!!
We're in mourning. Dori, our 6-year-old guinea pig, passed away unexpectedly last week. My Beloved was able to prepare the grave and bury the deceased under the big pine trees in the back yard before the 8" snowstorm. But there were still some tender emotions in the house.
Then Maddy, 11, came in with the mail. She was excited. She had gotten a letter! Well, what do you know: the American Association of Retired Persons was inviting her to join, and apply for a $50,000 group life insurance policy through New York Life.
"Listen!" Maddy exclaimed, reading the form letter aloud. "Life insurance can help your family with living expenses . . . or help pay bills you may leave behind, including medical costs, credit cards, loan balances, AND FUNERAL COSTS."
She looked up. "How did they find out about Dori?!?"
Oh, this junk mail . . . it will be the death of us all.
